[Jean] The moment of trespass.
It's usually small, almost unnoticeable.
Whether it's returning a flirtatious text,
holding eye contact a moment too long.
Or maybe even going to a coffee shop
you know you shouldn't be at.
Jean,
are you really being honest with yourself?
Well, I...
I did have a moment of weakness.
It was brief, but...
I felt the impulse.
The need to escape...
and just...
break free of everything.
I guess that's why I thought
I should come back and see you again.
[man] I'm wondering
if this has anything to do
with the fact
that Melissa has just been released.
[Jean] No, I've put that behind me.
I've let it go.
I do know how to keep myself in check.
How to catch myself...
before I'm fully on the tightrope again.
Jean, it's me, Allison.
Please call me back, 646-555-0174.
Please, I really need to talk to you.
Soon, please.
[Jean] Uh, yeah, so, she's been doing
really well with her recovery.
Um, we went to a meeting just last week.
[laughs] Sorry, it's--
it's a lot for me to process.
Her mother's concerned
she's a potential suicide risk.
She's not suicidal.
Do you know where she was last staying
since she left her mom's?
Um...
she was at her friend Amber's
for a few days.
And after that, um...
her ex-boyfriend's.
-Name of the boyfriend?
-Ex-boyfriend.
Tom Devins.
He's actually responsible
for a lot of her drug use.
And he's been violent
with her before, also.
If I can get a copy of your notes,
that would be helpful.
Uh, I'm not sure
how comfortable I am with that.
It's standard protocol to discuss it
with the patient first.
Yeah, I understand.
But anything that helps us
track her behavior is very useful.
Or we could just court order it.
Anything I can do to help.
That was it.
I, uh...
I gave him my notes. I told him about Tom.
It was pretty straightforward.
[Gary] He was in the waiting room
a few weeks ago, right?
Yeah.
His body language, his anger,
I shoud've...
I should have reported it back then.
Well, the police will handle it.
But...
I'm still unclear, Jean.
I couldn't have predicted that Allison--
No, not about Allison.
About you.
Detective Kelly mentioned on the phone
that Allison's mother believes
she's emotionally unstable.
That's a huge departure
from what you've said in supervision.
I-- I just wouldn't characterize her
as emotionally unstable.
Yes, she's in recovery,
but she's making progress.
She's really trying. I told you this.
I'm wondering how attached
you've become to this girl.
I'm worried it's a pattern.
Look, Allison's an addict.
They're manipulative and charismatic
and often the best liars.
But my only error here is that
I couldn't perceive the fact that maybe,
maybe she was lying to me,
and that's it.
I'm not involved with this.
And I'm certainly not breaking
any professional boundaries.
I heard you been looking for me.
Yeah, I was,
but it's nothing. Don't worry--
No, no, no, no.
See, now I want to talk to you.
-What is it?
-Allison.
See, she slept over the other night,
and now she's gone, right?
She disappeared like that.
I thought maybe
you'd know something about it
since you're all buddy-buddy with her now.
I'm supposed to believe you?
I might be an asshole, all right?
But I'm not a fucking kidnapper.
You gotta admit, though,
she had you so focused on me,
that you didn't even think that maybe
she was the one who was fucking psychotic.
I'm sure she fed you that bullshit
about her mom's cancer, too, right?
Just hope she doesn't
sell you out, too, lady.
[phone ringing]
[sighs]
[phone buzzes]
[phone chimes]
[Alexis] It's beautiful.
The blue. Yes, I love the blue.
Um, Alexis?
-Hey.
-Hey, um...
Could you close the door?
What's going on?
I don't know.
Actually, I really don't know.
Can I do something?
I have to go and pick up Dolly
from school today.
So can you just cancel
the meeting with Allen?
Michael. I mean, can I do anything?
I wish that you could.
Me, too.
Thanks. Hey, I am...
really glad that you're back at your desk.
I hope that's okay to say.
[phone ringing]
Hey, this is Sam. Leave a message.
[voice mail beeps]
Sam, it's Jean again.
Uh, I really need to speak to you.
Can you call me back, please?
It's important. Thanks.
[knock on door]
-[Sidney] Hey.
-Hey.
-[Sidney] Well, that's nice.
-Mm-hmm.
[Jean] I'm happy to see you.
Believe me,
I could use the escape right now.
[Sidney] I love it, your place.
Thanks.
Your niece looks exactly like you.
We get that a lot.
Can I get you a drink?
-Sure.
-Bourbon okay?
Yeah, great.
Oh, shit, can you grab some ice, please?
[Sidney] Sure.
-Fuck.
-What?
This I wasn't expecting.
-It's not mine.
-Well, then, whose is it?
I don't know.
I, um, had a friend staying here.
She has issues with drugs,
and I didn't know she was still using.
I don't want to think
about that right now.
I just want to focus on you.
How are you feeling after the other day?
Better.
You know, I was thinking about Sam.
What does he look like?
-Do you have a picture?
-[chuckles] Why do you care?
Curious what kind of guy you like to fuck.
[Sidney] Oh, really?
-Does that turn you on?
-Maybe.
You like picturing that?
[chuckles]
Here, you can see Emily, too.
He's cute, I guess.
Oh.
What?
[Jean] I guess he's having
some kind of engagement party tonight.
Sorry, I just, I didn't know
that was happening tonight.
Hey, don't apologize.
I mean, you guys had a long history,
and you obviously cared
about each other, too.
It's normal.
Yeah.
Where is it?
[scoffs]
It's just some restaurant downtown.
Look, I'm telling you,
I really don't give a shit.
-Really?
-Mm-hmm.
Not even curious just a little bit?
[Jean] Maybe it'll be a turn on.
[pop music playing]
I hope no one recognizes me.
That's all part of the fun, isn't it?
You're right. You're not that pure.
[Jean] That's them, right?
[Jean laughs]
Ugh, she's so vanilla.
[Jean] Not everyone could be
as adventurous as you are.
Whatever.
Should I try to get closer?
See if I can hear something?
You're crazy.
Why? No one knows who I am.
I can try to get a picture.
Hold on a second.
Let me use yours. Mine's dead.
[inaudible]
[shutter clicks]
[sighs]
Must be hard for you to see that.
Yeah, it's a little weird, for sure.
You guys were in a serious,
co-dependent relationship.
Sure. We were lost in our own little world
for a while, I guess.
Don't you think
that you were maybe using him?
Controlling?
I mean, come on,
convincing him to get a tattoo?
Maybe Emily just loves him
for who he really is.
How do you know he has a tattoo?
You told me the other night, remember?
Hmm.
Look.
Oh, fuck me.
You should go talk to him.
Are you crazy?
-Here, now?
-Yeah.
Go on, tell him how insane this is,
and that you're worried about him.
Why would I do that
in the middle of his engagement party?
Because you said it yourself,
he shouldn't be with her.
Maybe you can get through to him.
Why do you want me to be with Sam so much?
I just think he's good for you.
You said he's reliable, dependent.
You get to be honest with him.
You know how to make him feel good.
-You got in late.
-Yeah, it was a rough night.
I can't believe we still live
in this house.
Hmm.
You're the one who chose it.
Maybe I've changed.
[Michael] Oh!
[music playing over earphones]
[woman] Excuse me, miss!
Hey, are you Alexis Wright?
Um, yeah. How can I help you?
Did you write this?
Yeah.
-[Sidney] You know Diane?
-Diane who?
Hart.
-Doesn't sound familiar--
-She's saying that she wrote this.
So either you're a plagiarist, or she is.
[scoffs]
I don't know what you're talking about.
Who are you?
How did you even get this address?
Your LinkedIn.
-[telephone rings]
-You can find anything on the Internet.
Michael Holloway's office.
Hey, Jean. Yeah, okay, go ahead.
Yea--
[stammers] Um... okay.
Hey!
[Claire] "Dear Mom, I'm so sorry
for all that has transpired.
I know I haven't been able to see you
as much as you'd like,
but I love you
and value you so much.
It's hard for me
to bring this up in person,
and it might be better
to just not mention it,
but please know that I love you.
Love, Rebecca."
Oh...
That's really lovely, Claire.
I was so upset
when she canceled on me,
and really thought it was over.
And then I get this.
I don't know.
I guess Howard's shining down
on me, after all.
You know, Claire...
I think I've been preoccupied lately
and perhaps not been present for you
in the ways I want to be.
So, I want to apologize
if I've been hard on you.
No, what are you talking about?
Jean, you've been terrific, terrific--
No, I haven't,
but I'm gonna change that.
I think it's possible that I was
over-identifying with Rebecca,
'cause I have a tough relationship
with my mother.
And you know,
that voice that gets into your head,
you can't-- you can't shut it down.
And you don't like what it says,
but it makes you want to rebel.
You know, when I was just a little girl,
I thought...
I want to just strike a match
and burn the house down.
But, of course, I would never do that,
but family, emotions are intense.
Jean, I'm really sorry.
It's just-- even I have to struggle
with how much I have to hide from my mom.
So maybe it's the same with Rebecca.
[Alexis]
So, the weirdest thing just happened.
This random girl comes to my desk earlier,
asking all kinds of questions.
She claims someone named Diane Hart
was plagiarizing my story.
It was really bizarre.
And Dolly's school again,
they want to confirm Jean's speech
on bullying.
Said they've been trying to reach her.
Oh, right, yeah.
She didn't mention anything about a...
a speech, go figure.
You okay?
I was a real dick to you after Texas.
-And I'm not a dick.
-I know you're not.
I think, maybe...
I've been being nice to the wrong people.
Michael...
You worked so hard to disprove the rumors.
'Cause I'm a fucking idiot.
I'm seeing someone.
Okay, right. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Uh, no explanation needed.
[Allison]
You know, when I was still at Fordham,
just when all this shit started
to take over,
I used to sit in the park over there
and swing...
for, like, hours.
It was the only place I felt safe.
Faster! Faster, faster!
Stacey, Stacey, Stacey, look!
Mommy!
Hey, sweetie.
I got finished early,
so I thought I'd surprise you.
Now you go upstairs
and get started with your homework, okay?
-Already?
-Yeah, I'll be right up.
Thanks.
[phone ringing]
[automated voice]
We're sorry, you have reached a number
that has been disconnected
or is no longer in service.
[sighs]
[phone ringing]
[voice mail beeps]
Hi, Detective Kelly,
this is Jean Holloway again.
I'm just calling to see
if you have any more information
on my patient Allison Adams.
If you could call me
as soon as you get this.
Thanks. Bye.
[door opens]
We need to talk.
[Jean] I know.
Good.
[sighs] Good. Is Dolly upstairs?
-Yeah, she's-- she's fine.
-Okay.
I'm, uh, I'm concerned.
Okay.
I recognize this, all of it.
And I don't like it.
I know...
I know that you're lying.
I don't know why,
or what you're lying about,
but I can see it, I know.
[shakily] Okay, look...
I just, I need your help right now.
I need you to stick with me.
Honey...
I'm in over my head, and, um, I'm scared.
There's a car outside.
It's been parked there all day.
What do you mean? What car? What...
There's nobody out there.
It-- it was. It was--
It was a gray car right there.
-[Michael] Are you sure?
-[Jean] Yeah.
-I don't know, I don't know--
-Hey, Jean.
-It's--
-Jean.
Okay, I did something...
that I know you won't agree with, but...
In fact,
it's hard for me to even admit, but...
I have a patient, this young girl,
and she's got this violent ex-boyfriend,
and he's involved with drugs,
and she's involved, and...
and she has a mother
who won't see her, and...
she just needed a place to stay
for a few days.
And I didn't want her to end up
on the streets.
-Right.
-So I wanted to just be there for her.
And now...
Now she's missing. She's... she's missing.
The detective is calling me.
I don't-- I don't know.
[sobbing]
Imagine if this was Dolly.
Imagine, it's just...
[Jean] Okay.
[breathing deeply]
And so I let her go to 309.
-Wait, 309?
-Yeah, I kept it.
I didn't ever use it or sleep there.
I just never gave it up.
Wait.
You kept it? Why would you keep it?
And you told me that you got rid of it
like eight years ago.
-I guess I was scared, I just--
-Of what?
I don't know. Of losing it. I--
I don't know, of losing myself.
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me?
You don't think
that I'm afraid of losing myself?
You are so fucking selfish!
-Please, Dolly--
-No, no, no, no, stop it, stop it!
Did you ever actually think about me?
And Dolly?
How this would affect any of us?
The fact that you can
never actually commit,
and this insane recklessness.
Jean, I have stuck by you
-through everything!
-Please stop.
Shut up!
With your mom, with Melissa.
Maybe she wasn't as crazy
as you made her out to be.
Maybe you manipulated her,
got under her skin, huh?
Maybe she wasn't as fucked up
as you thought.
And who is this woman
who comes into my office
-and says she knows
-Honey, please, stop!
someone named Diane Hart
who plagiarized my assistant's story?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Does this make you feel good?
Does it make you feel more free
to manipulate people like this?
That you're so powerful?
Fuck this.
[sighs]
[Jean sobbing]
[Michael] Fuck this.
[sobbing]
[Jean gasping]
[sobbing]
[knock on door]
[Nancy]
Jean. What are you doing here?
[Jean sobbing]
[Nancy] Oh, honey.
It's okay, okay.
Okay.
It's all right.
You just have to tell Michael
you'll give it up.
And do whatever it takes.
-That's all he needs to hear.
-Yeah.
So, he feels hurt.
You sound like the therapist.
Well, unlike a therapist,
I would argue
that you can then disregard it...
and figure out
what you actually want to do.
Why didn't you force me to give it up
after all these years?
Because I knew you needed it.
And I thought better that it be
an apartment than... a person, hmm?
Well, actually, I blame your father.
Creating a world of secrecy
all around you.
And me, as a matter of fact.
I have to go down to the basement
to look at some stuff.
-Is that okay?
-Okay.
[Jean] Diane. Diane Hart.
I'm... a journalist. I'm a journalist.
Relationship status, single.
Address, 309 West 81st Street.
Future plans... unknown.
I do love you.
So much.
Upstairs, please, sweetie.
[Dolly] No!
Dolly, go upstairs and get ready now.
-[Dolly] Daddy!
-Now.
Hmm, ba-boing!
I want the key to 309.
Why?
Are you really asking me that
at this point?
[drawer opening]
[keys jangling]
[Jean] Thanks for coming, Sam.
I'm happy to see you.
I figured I owed you that, at least.
Yeah, I'm glad.
I didn't like how things ended last time.
Yeah, I'm not the best at goodbyes.
Neither am I.
And look, if you want to process out
of therapy, that's your choice.
That's fine, of course.
But...
I do feel an obligation
to share something with you.
Sidney contacted me.
What?
She told me you were getting engaged.
I think she's worried about you.
Wait, she said that? You spoke to her?
No, it was an e-mail,
which I didn't respond to, of course.
How did she find you?
She doesn't even know who you are.
Well, I don't know.
Does she have your password?
Did she get into your emails,
your contacts?
I can't believe she reached out like that.
Maybe she doesn't want you
to make a mistake.
No, she just wants
to bulldoze my happiness
now that I'm with Emily,
and she's alone.
Sam, you sure you should be doing this?
Getting engaged to Emily?
I know you'll probably say
it's reckless and impulsive,
and it's just a Band-Aid,
and all the other very smart,
-rational advice, but I just don't care.
-You're an adult.
-It's your decision.
-But I know what you're thinking.
Maybe that's not what I'm thinking.
You know, my husband's a lawyer,
and we're actually not that different
from you and Sidney.
Maybe that's why...
I'm invested.
You know, the other night, we had a...
a party
to celebrate the engagement.
And I swear for a second
I thought I saw Sidney there.
It freaked me out.
It made me wonder if I'm always gonna be
chasing the dream, you know?
The fantasy.
But I think it's good
that I'm not mad for Emily.
That I don't lose my head,
that I choose something real.
Well, Sam, I don't want you to settle.
You should have your dream.
But if you...
if you really feel that connection,
that excitement with Emily,
then who am I to tell you
how much time you need?
And the fact that you actually
are over Sidney?
Well, that means something.
But you know, for what it's worth,
maybe Sidney's not as bad as we thought.
I mean, she clearly cares
about you a great deal.
You know, sometimes...
it just takes one look at someone
to know that's what you really want.
[cell phone buzzing]
What the fuck are you doing here?
I just really wanted to talk to you.
You never even visited.
I wanted to.
No one understood. You know that, right?
They said I fabricated all of it,
that you're a professional,
and I'm some un-credible source.
You made me look crazy.
You took out a fucking restraining order?
It just went too far.
I couldn't be a part of it.
But that doesn't mean I stopped caring.
I followed your progress,
I checked up on you all the time.
-And I promise--
-No, you have no idea what it's like
to be watched by everyone, prodded,
like nothing you say is true.
You're just a worthless, fucking parasite.
Look, I know you don't trust me, but...
I'll regain it. It's important to me.
Do you still have it?
Yeah, I never took it off.
[crying] I missed you, Jean.
I missed you so much.
[continues crying]
I missed you, too, Melissa.
Hey.
It's gonna be okay, I promise.
Uh, hey, Catherine, it's Michael calling.
I'm sorry that it took me so long
to call you back.
[Jean] Hi, Detective Kelly?
This is Jean Holloway returning your call.
[Kelly] Yeah, so I met with Tom Devins.
He hasn't seen her.
He was actually pretty concerned.
He did mention an apartment
on the Upper West Side.
Apparently she was staying there.
I'll go check it out,
if I can ever get out of here tonight.
[breathing heavily]
[car beeps]
[chattering]
[footsteps approaching]
Hey.
-Dolly's inside.
-Yeah.
I went there. I saw it.
Okay.
I don't know what the fuck
you expect me to do.
This is not who I want to be, Jean.
Look, I can't lose you...
or Dolly.
It doesn't compare, nothing compares.
And I promise, I'm gonna be all in.
I'll commit to you entirely.
I'll give up everything.
Please believe me, Michael.
[man] She's an active member
of our community and our PTA,
and she's also an expert on a subject
that affects all of us.
Some of you already know
that I'm a cognitive behavioral therapist,
and so I've been asked tonight to speak
about how to prevent bullying in schools.
But it's really not that simple.
So, I don't want
to rattle off statistics here.
I want to address the root causes
of bullying,
and talk about what motivates
that behavior.
It often comes from a deep-seated lack
of stability.
A ground that was never really solid.
And yet, unsurprisingly,
those who've been bullied
are more than likely
going to become bullies themselves.
They want to inflict pain on others,
mostly because they don't want
to feel the pain.
[car engine revving]
Perhaps they try to distract you
through intimidation or lies,
so you don't see their truth,
their guilt, their own shame.
It's deeply embedded
from their history,
their experiences, even their upbringing.
And, lastly, there's the ones
who want power,
because they just don't want
to feel powerless any longer.
They need an outlet.
To really have power,
one must have it over something
or someone.
But it's never really
about that person, that situation.
Those people who truly desire power...
are actually only trying
to control one thing...
themselves.
